DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #219: Make a Medallion with Glimmer Paper

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we're having a "Sketch Pad" challenge.

As soon as I received my pre-order of the new 2nd Release Sale-a-Bration products, I knew I would be using them for today's sketch. The free Make a Medallion stamp set was the perfect choice for the focal point and the free must-have Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack was just right for the small strip of paper. Here's what I came up with...

Make a Medallion: Quick & Cute 5-Step Card

Adhere 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Sweet Sugarplum card base.
Adhere 4-1/4" x 3/4" strip of new Sale-a-Bration Sweet Sugarplum Glimmer Paper to card.
Stamp new Sale-a-Bration Make a Medallion images with Sweet Sugarplum and Mint Macaron inks on 3" square of Whisper White. Die cut with Layering Circle Framelits Die (2-3/8"). Adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Stamp greeting with Sweet Sugarplum ink on 1/2" x 3" strip of Whisper White. Trim ends into banner shape. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Thread Whisper White Bakers Twine through silver Mini Paper Clips. Clip onto medallion, then tie twine into a bow.

No Bones About It: Black Magic with a Twist!

I'm making the shift from flowers to dinosaurs this week with Black Magic with a Twist. I wanted to show you something outside-the-box with this technique and thought the No Bones About It stamp set would be fun to work with...and it was!

No Bones About It: Black Magic with a Twist!

Randomly stamp dinosaurs with Whisper White Craft ink on 4" x 5-1/4" Basic Black cardstock.
Use Watercolor Pencils in "combos" to color each dinosaur (color with lighter one, then add details with darker one):
- Bermuda Bay & Pacific Point
- Melon Mambo & Rich Razzleberry
- Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie
- Old Olive & Early Espresso
- Play around with different color combos
Use White Chalk Marker to add dots for the "twist".
Stamp greeting with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on scrap of Old Olive cardstock. Die cut with Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Die. Adhere with SNAIL and staple.
Adhere completed panel to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Old Olive card base.

If you missed the other Black Magic Cards...

Card 1: Flourishing Phrases with a Twist
Card 2: No Bones About it (you're here)
Card 3: Flourishing Phrases
Card 4: Flourishing Phrases with a Wink & a Twist

As you can see, I had a lot of fun playing with the Black Magic Technique. Get yourself a set of Watercolor Pencils and starting playing...you're gonna love them! NOTE: due to the popularity of the Watercolor Pencils, Stampin' Up! anticipates that they may go on backorder again in the coming weeks, so be sure to get yours today!
